Farmgang

So, you are a farmer, whose crops are being destroyed by Fulani herdsmen who drive cattle into your corn fields, or your cassava foliage, while the invaders who wreak all that costly damage simply carry on utterly destroying your livelihood, as though YOUR farmland, belongs to THEM.

As a farmer, perhaps you feed your family, pay your children's school fees, and settle all other bills, PRIMARILY from that farm income, therefore, the sight of strange men and rampaging cattle fills you with rage, and makes you start to contemplate using a weapon, since you are aware that cattle are regarded by the current Nigerian government, as being entitled to eat and destroy all crops they encounter anywhere in Nigeria.

Well, there is indeed a "weapon" that you can use to eliminate that cow damage to your farm completely, and WITHOUT any form of violence likely to occur from either party of this perennial conflict. That weapon, that is 100% guaranteed to place ANY farm on the no-graze list, whereby any cattle that approach the farm from any direction, will instantly turn and flee in terror, never to return.

Cutting to the chase, this final solution to cattle damage of crops, ironically comes from the cows themselves, namely their BLOOD, purchased from the local abattoir fresh in the morning, at prices that are typically quite low and affordable in Nigeria. When you have your fresh cow blood in a container, you must IMMEDIATELY use it on the farm, by sprinkling it on the ground along ALL paths and approaches to your farm, that are likely to be used by invading cattle. Even if you cannot reach the farm before the blood thickens and congeals into a liver-like consistency, it is still usable, and highly effective, though care must be taken to hide ALL visible traces of this highly potent cattle repellent.

The beauty of using cow blood to frighten away cattle, is that NO physical harm is done to the cattle, despite the abject terror that will encourage them to flee in all directions in an utter panic that is typically beyond the means of any herdsman to control. Skeptics reading this very simple procedure, may rightly feel that this idea is unlikely to work, but to those who are doubtful, I only ask that you try this method just once, to see your farm suddenly protected by an INVISIBLE WALL that NO cow will ever dream of crossing.

Currently Nigeria is going through the annual dry season, when there is no rain, and cattle invasions are most rampant, as thousands of cattle herds fan out across the south of the country, so as to feed fat on the crops planted by farmers, very often in the dead of night. Well, that absence of rain, is actually a blessing to any farmer who decides to eliminate cattle from his or her land, because one single application of cow blood around the borders of the farm, will remain highly effective for well over 2 weeks, during which time not ONE single cow will DARE set foot in that farm.

There you have it, farmers. A final solution DOES exist, to protect your precious crops, and that solution is simply to buy some cheap cow blood, and sprinkle it along the entire perimeter of your farm, or just along any well defined paths that cattle regularly travel on their way to destroy crops. That blood treatment will need to be RENEWED every two weeks or so, to keep the odor strong enough to trigger instant panic in any approaching cow, that will then turn around and run full speed AWAY from your farm, regardless of all efforts by the baffled herdsman, to restore order among his animals.

Finally, because the sprinkling of cow blood is so devastatingly effective, it is essential that the person spreading that blood must NEVER bee seen doing so, by the cattle herdsmen, because they will certainly become angry enough to kill. This is a very sneaky method of guerrilla warfare, which, when properly done, remains a complete mystery to the cattle herdsmen, who will ultimately conclude that " evil spirits" are the cause of their cows strange refusal to feast on certain specific farms.

Try this idea, verify that it works beyond your wildest expectations, and then please, if you will, report back to this forum discussion, to narrate your experiences with this very simple, affordable and devastatingly powerful way to completely eliminate farm damage by renegade cattle herds.

Bob's yer uncle, as the British would say. The foregoing "modality" I will call "Level One Protection", for when you wish to display powers ha ha.

For farmers seeking "Level Two Protection" that will prevent cows from eating their crops WITHOUT subjecting the cows to the terror-inducing aroma of cow blood, there exists a slightly more subtle variation of the concept, whose effect is that the cows, upon having been guided to eat crops growing in farmland, will instead gather in groups, refusing to eat, and seemingly discussing the predicament among themselves, by way of some puzzled mooing vocalizations.

No matter how vigorously the cow herder shouts and ululates encouragement for his cattle to eat the crops planted all around them, the cows simply will NOT bend down and eat even a blade of grass, until the herder finally takes the common sense option of moving to greener pastures elsewhere.

Notably, this second cow deterrent option is also a product of the cows, namely, their smelly manure, which can be obtained by the bagful at any cattle-holding "corral" in Nigeria, where cattle for sale or slaughter are densely assembled in fenced enclosures. Fresh cow manure, mixed with water, and liberally sprinkled on crops or open fields, will GUARANTEE that any herds of cattle that show up, will not remain there for long, since the cattle will REFUSE to graze on foliage that smells of their own dung. A re-application is required every week to ten days or so, with this "modality", to maintain the potency of the cow-deterrent effect.

The cheapest means of spreading "au-de-manure perfume", for a small scale farmer, would be to send workers to STEALTHILY and SECRETLY, use traditional palm-leaf brooms to LIGHTLY sprinkle the smelly mixture of cow manure and water, on the ground, or even on the crops' leaves directly, to give those crops a good TWO weeks of "Level Two Protection" against cattle invasions. For larger farming operations who do not wish to invest in perimeter fencing, yet wish to discourage cattle crop damage, a mixture of fresh cow manure and water can be filtered with mosquito netting, then with cloth, to allow the resulting water to be sprayed from a farm tractor crop sprayer, or by men carrying regular crop spraying backpacks.

Please don't forget to come back here and give testimony to the awesome power of this simple method that will protect your crops most effectively in the dry season, when there is no rain to wash away that smell.

By the way, if great care is taken to ensure that your staff are not witnessed by cow herders, while in the red-handed act of spraying droplets of cow blood or cow manure to protect your farm, there is simply NO way for any human being to detect the smell that causes such temporary madness and blind panic in cows. Very few people realize that the sense of smell of a cow, is comparable to that of a trained drug-sniffing police dog, and for a cow, there is NO smell on earth that can induce as much INSTANT fear and utter, blind panic, as the smell of fresh cow blood.

Let us hear of your experience when you try this method, but remember, absolute secrecy is of paramount importance, when one is administering a "juju modality" that is so powerful and fast-acting.
